Okay - we can so do this!
First day in camp began at 11am EST with the morning group call...actually, it began a lot earlier with me as I'm not only a light sleeper and usually am fortunate to sleep past 4am, but I also have a new kitty who was ready for me to wake up and play with her at quarter til 4:)
So, I'm on the computer (what else is there to do when it's still dark out,) in between doing 2 loads of wash and entertaining 'Peaches' (new kitty,) and I'm reading some of the blogs of my fellow campers and checking out some other things...coffee's on, house is quiet...getting more and more psyched about the first call at 11:00. I actually dialed in to the call line almost 20 minutes early! Not too anxious huh...but glad I did as I got to chat with a few comrades before hand.
The call itself was everything I've come to expect from Ginny and Jacki. Good call - very good call and I had no doubts by the end of the call exactly what was expected of me. This is going to be not easy but so doable IF we all simply follow their lead. Can't wait for tomorrow's call.
So...what did I do after the call? What impact did the call have on me and what did I do to implement what I had learned from the call?
Well, first I ate lunch with Al and then I printed out some of the new invitation cards with my contact info and then Al & I went to do some shopping for the new kitty. She needed a larger litter box and some toys so it was off to a store or two with invitation cards at hand...I couldn't come home without 5 names, phone #s and email address of my 5 new contacts to share MyPowerMall with!
First stop was the Dollar Tree where I found nothing for Peaches but got my first contact. Then across the street to BigLots where all they had was a package of mini play mice but I had 2 contacts there. So, still no litter box and chensey toys AND still need 2 more contacts so it's off to the "BigK" where I find a nice litter box and some neat toys along with a scratching post, a container of catnip and a very nice cashier and that's contact #4 for the day. (I know we have KMart in our mall but Peaches needed this stuff today!)
One more. I need one more. Where am I going to find one more? We're parked right outside of KMart and Al's back is bothering him so it's not a walk through the mall day...
We're leaving KMart and I notice a lady sitting at the first Kiosh just 20' from KMart so I head towards her and strike a conversation and within a few minutes she's joined by a friend who also works in the mall and bingo, I now have #5 AND #6 for day 1. We can sooooo do this:-)
Stay tuned for results and further adventures.
